Chapter 1020: SCP-3125

The plot in the containment file made the audience start to suspect that this was some kind of classic routine in movies and TV shows.

In this way, many places that had not been explained before suddenly became reasonable.

The reason why Adam came to an empty school and woke up from it was not a trap set by monsters or a conspiracy laid out by 3125.

The reason he appeared here was entirely out of his own will.

It's just that after he came to the school, he was awakened to his sealed memories time and time again, forgot what he had done before time and time again, and eventually became what he is today.

"He won't repeat this process here until he dies, right?"

"The last cycle was waking up in the corridor, this time it was in the classroom, where will it be next time? Will it be in some office, or outside?"

"Such a cycle always has an implicit limit—his physical strength. If he doesn't eat or drink for too long, he might find that he has no physical strength to act after waking up one time, and just wait for death."

"For him, there is good news, because the end of the world has already begun, so he doesn't have to worry about not playing the violin."

"What's the difference between this and comforting an Evenk person, 'You don't have to worry about your family suffering, because they are all dead'……"

"There is still a difference. Adam is the partner of a high-level Foundation member, while the Evenk people were truly exterminated."

……

The office was narrow and dark, piled with high documents, like a maze built of complicated files. There were only two simple small tables and a few broken office chairs inside.

Adam found the ringing phone and picked it up:

"Hello?"

And at this time, he found that there was also a desk phone on the other table, with the receiver hung up.

Responding to him was a synthesized female voice, cold and mechanical:

"Mr. Adam?"

"Yes, who are you?"

With a tone of consideration, the machine voice replied:

"Before we formally talk, can I ask you a question?"

"What special meaning does the name Marion Hutchinson have for you?"

In an instant, a faint and ethereal ringing echoed in Adam's thoughts, but it dissipated instantly.

"No," Adam replied, and he followed up with another question, "Should I have one?"

"No."

The synthesized voice made it impossible to judge its emotional color, neither disappointed nor happy, only cold as before:

"I am Ulrich, belonging to an organization called the Foundation. Our mission is to prevent the disaster that has already happened from repeating."

Disaster…… A chill rose from under Adam's feet, rushing straight to his crown, as if there were countless malicious eyes behind him, opening in the black door.

Adam turned around abruptly, but only saw his own reflection on the empty wall.

He took a breath, calmed his mood, and continued to ask:

"Then, what on earth…… happened?"

"The world has become purgatory, Mr. Adam."

"Heh, what bad luck."

Next was a long silence, long enough for Adam to question whether he already had signs of madness to deal with such a bizarre situation.

Finally, the voice on the other end of the phone broke the silence first:

"……Indeed, extremely unfortunate."

"Mr. Adam, we request your help. The 'we' here actually refers to me alone."

"Because the Foundation is left with only me, and I can only rely on you at the moment. Furthermore, I am dying."

"I am sorry, Ms. Ulrich."

Adam spoke with some concern: "What do you need me to do?"

"I need you to find a person named Bartholomew Hughes. Please sit down, I will explain everything in detail."

……

"Eh…… The Foundation is dead? 'The Fugitive' is the third supreme divinity after 'The Missing' and 'Black Moon' to destroy the Foundation, right?" ===== CHAPTER 1022 =====
